NEW RELEASE: TWICE'S NICE START

The new TWICE EP, With YOU-th (JYP/Virgin Music Group/Republic), is tracking to a first week opening of 90-105k. Comprised of mostly pure sales, this should be enough for a #1 debut. If it holds, TWICE will land the year's first K-pop chart-topper.

LOOK TWICE—IT'S THE TOP 20!

Tuesday, February 27, 2024

TWICE will score its first #1 with the six-track EP With YOU-th (JYP/Virgin/Imperial/Republic). The K-pop debut leads what could be seven Republic titles in the Top 10. Source/Geffen’s LE SSERAFIM, a South Korean quintet, is also Top 10-bound, with an opening of nearly 42k. As TWICE is a nonet, that's 14 women in all! Meanwhile, French Montana’s Mac & Cheese 5 (Coke Boys/gamma.) will debut in the Top 20.

Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’ve got to leap on over to happy hour.

Update:

TOP 20: TWICE IS NICE; MONTANA MOVES

Wednesday, February 28, 2024

Meanwhile, gamma.’s French Montana vaults to #3 in our updated projections this morning (2/28) thanks to a D2C number bigger than initially anticipated. We’re now expecting Mac & Cheese 5 (Coke Boys/gamma.) to finish the week with total activity in the neighborhood of 56.5k. This is just ahead of Noah Kahan’s Stick Season (Mercury/Republic) at 56k, so either could finish at #3.
